Renée Fleming in Conversation with David Rubenstein: Music and Mind

Apr 21, 2024


Join Grammy winner, 2023 Kennedy Center honoree, and legendary soprano Renée Fleming on her life on stage and the myriad connections between music and health — and her new book, Music and Mind.

One of the most beloved and celebrated sopranos of our time, Fleming has travelled centerstage to the greatest opera houses, concert halls, and theaters around the world, performing at momentous occasions from Buckingham Palace to the Super Bowl. Over the past few years, she has become one of the most prominent advocates for the study of the powerful connections between the arts and health. In Music and Mind, Fleming draws upon her own experience to showcase the breadth of research showing the stunning health benefits of music and the arts — from providing pain relief and alleviating anxiety and depression to regaining speech after stroke or traumatic brain injury — inviting leading experts to share their discoveries. Hear her and Rubenstein discuss her remarkable career — what singing has meant to her, how music and the arts might heal us, and much more.
